UNBOWED is a moving and intimate portrait of exiled Gambian journalist Dr. Omar Bah, whose life takes a remarkable turn when he is resettled in Rhode Island as a refugee. This profoundly life-altering experience sets Omar on a new path as an activist, advocate, and leader for refugee communities across the U.S.

Mulling It Over

In 2016, Bob Houghtaling sat down with Dr. Omar Bah for a powerful conversation on his Mulling It Over podcast. Years later, an excerpt from that interview is featured in Omar’s acclaimed documentary UNBOWED, bringing this important conversation to a new audience. ⬇️ 🔗 link to the clip in comments below

🚨RIDOH is issuing an overdose spike alert for residents of East Greenwich, Exeter, Hopkinton, Richmond, and West Greenwich. 🚨

RIDOH is issuing an overdose spike alert for residents of East Greenwich, Exeter, Hopkinton, Richmond, and West Greenwich. According to RIDOH emergency department (ED) data, higher-than-normal non-fatal drug overdose activity happened among East Greenwich and Exeter residents between August 26, 2026, and September 1, 2026. Read the alert for more details: tinyurl.com/45ncwkhv

When RIDOH data show an increase in overdoses, RIDOH sends out an overdose spike alert. These alerts help communities know what is happening and connect people to local overdose prevention, treatment, and recovery resources.

Increases in overdoses can happen because the drug supply is always changing. Fentanyl and other very strong substances are in all types of drugs, including he**in, co***ne, and counterfeit pills.
